Couldn’t figure out how to add this to my original post so I just made a new one!
Vanilla sponge, vanilla pastry cream, guava buttercream (inside and crumb coat) and vanilla buttercream on the outside!
I thought about cutting the cakes in half because the layers are so thick, but since I didn’t use any dowels I thought thicker layers would give it support and structure. I’m no expert so feel free to provide feedback on how I can make this better next year. I thought the pastry cream needing a tart companion, so next time I’ll add a compote of some sort – raspberry, or guava if possible. There is pastry cream above the third layer of cake but you can’t see it because I cut the cake not exactly down the middle.
Added some extra pics for the commenter seeking proof it wasn’t AI (I know it was a joke but I’m still gonna be flattered af ok)! 😂🥂

How long did all that green piping take? I think I’d have ended up with a carpal tunnel syndrome flare-up by the time I’d finished that!😭
Love all the little white and gold pearls/baubles…it’s simple but so pretty 😍

How does your hand feel today after all that piping?

I love guava, you almost never see that as a cake filling. I bet it was delicious, and it looks beautiful!

Love the Christmas tree cakes! This and the other from Sweden are inspirations for next year’s Yule!
Very pretty!
Looks fantastic and amazing cross section!
Oh ya. I’d eat that cake.
That’s a stunning cake! How much would you charge to make one a matter of interest?
That came out so nice. Great work.
This looks so delicious! And the way you iced and decorated it – I’d almost rather have that instead of a real tree!
You clearly have *way* more patience than I do. I can’t imagine how cramped my hand would feel before I got halfway done with what you did there.
That is some damn fine work.
Absolutely beautiful!
I love this cake 🎄
WOW!!!!!!
Did you start frosting from the top down, or from the bottom up? It’s gorgeous, I’d love to try something similar
Inspiring design!
